Last of August

Xena is fitting into the family nicely and she also seems to enjoy us.

Xena and her quiet spot: For three nights in a row we could not find Xena any where in the house when we were all heading to bed. We would look and call her and each night she would suddenly "appear" sitting in Cole's doorway. By the third evening I knew she was in Cole's room but where? I searched and searched and still could not find her until I heard a purring sound.

Opened Cole's bottom dresser drawer and there she was all snuggled up in his cloths.  No bottom to the dresser and the drawers do not roll all the way to the back so she found her quiet spot to sleep.  Silly kitty.

First injury at football.

Fat lip from a shoulder pad to the face.

Oma and Cole went shopping for a new chin strap after this for added protection and padding.  Poor guy could hardly talk for over a week with a large cut inside his lip and bruising too. (oh, suck it up and get back out there!)

Champoeg Camping

(pronounced like shampoo-ie)

We made a short trip up the I-5 to camp with the Oma's sisters and cousin's family.

Betsy, John, Chloe, Sam, Lisa, Skylar, Carol, Maggie and Lanna.  Oh, and the BS Family too with Doug.

Nice park with bike riding and a river near by.

The kids played and had quite a good time especially this evening where they tried to cook everything over the camp fire.

Jo & Chloe dipping strawberries in chocolate.

I also remember potato chips with melted cheese that were quite tasty.

Very fun, close to home weekend with family!

Maybe we can/will make this a yearly activity with them.
